Avan Story is an adventure game with anime graphics and interactive gameplay. Made by anigu, a small game developer team, the game promises fun experience for anime-manga lovers.

Story

Daniel Standhope, a businessman from England who is put into the planet Ikai after a certain incident. In order to return to his home, he has to find out about the secret of this world, winning beautiful girls' hearts and much more. All while trying to survive the dread of monsters and magical beings.

Gameplay

During the course of the game, players will encounter puzzles and events which will decide the outcomes of battles and how the story will advance.
Making choices during battle:

Avan story is not a stereotype game where the main hero has tremendous power. He is just a normal businessman! So, in order to survive, players will need to understand the habits and weaknesses of any monster they encounter. And they will have options to make choices during battles to put those understandings into practice.

Clues from environment:

Players can freely explore the Avan town at the beginning of the game. And they can interact with various kinds of things on the trip to unlock an event or to solve a confusing puzzle. Some characters will not share their true feelings unless players show them something...

Sample images:

Avan Story is still under development. However, we at anigu are expecting to release the game within this year.

*WEEKLY UPDATES*

Introducing Liz Dawez:

This chubby lady is a respectable teacher at Avan town.
Liz is also the only volunteer caretaker of Miru and Rune while other folks avoid them.

Are you an indie team? The game looks pretty good with the graphics. Also, I hope to see more gameplay images from you.

Yes, Avan Story is an indie work. As for the gameplay, you can see more on our website in the graphics section.

How many female characters are there in the game?

Haha, I'm glad you asked. There will be about 4 female characters you can meet during the game. But their presence, especially their relationship with the main character in the game will not be like what you would usually see in other visual novels. So there will be surprise for you to look forward to!

So this is a point-and-click adventure/VN hybrid like Pheonix Wright: Ace Attorney? Looks promising. The art is quite nice for an indie game.

The overall idea for Avan Story's gameplay is a combination between regular visual novels and interactive elements that won't make the player feel bored during hours of reading. So that's why you may feel this is similar to Phoenix Wright.

We really put emphasis on the art so you may want to check out the website as more can be found there.

When three puppygirls named after pastries are on top of each other, it is called Eclair a'la menthe et Biscotti aux fraises avec beaucoup de Ricotta sur le dessus.
Most of all, you have to be disciplined and you have to save, even if you hate our current financial system. Because if you don't save, then you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.

But maybe you should elaborate more on the story? I saw a whale-like animal (maybe not but that's what I thought) in one of the CG images on your site. If possible, how about revealing a bit on that?

That whale is actually one of the key factors that will trigger an important event in the game.
Also, more information on the story will be revealed in the future so I think you will need to wait for some time.

For an indie game, it already looks quite good actually. Will there be a demo for this sometime?

Thank you for your compliment, they are great motivation for us! As for a demo, there are already talks within the devs regarding that. We might release one once the game is almost finished.
